A collection of 10,000 skulls, fossils and minerals located in Mount Dennis

Prehistoria museum provides a hands-on look at the ancient world

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com

(Clockwise from top) Ashley Adams, (left), Eryn Thorsley and Jon Holmes look around the Prehistoria skull museum Sunday, Sept 3 on Weston Road; Ashley Adams checks out a Wooly Rhinoceros skull. skies of Southern New Zealand before going extinct in the 1400s.

Surprisingly, cleaning bones often dating back millennia is a straight forward process.

"All we really use is some hot water and dish soap, that’s really it," said Lovatt.

Lovatt is constantly on

the search for new pieces, and he makes use of his ample global contact list to acquire specimens from museums, indigenous tribes and farms across the world.

While many of those bones and skulls are intended to be sold-- the SkullStore retail website draws around 700 people a day-he says all sales go to-

wards supporting Prehistoria.

Recently, he has begun to offer a new service for those seeking a sentimental keepsake of their beloved pet. For fees ranging from $60 to $400, Lovatt and his staff will clean up the animal’s skeleton to preserve as a permanent memorial.

It sounds a bit creepy, but Lovatt points out some owners will cremate their beloved companions and keep their ashes in an urn.

The business seems to be growing with more people turning up at the shop to inquire about memorializing their beloved animal.

Admission to the museum, located on Weston

Road, is free of charge, and schools are invited to organize field trips to check out the collection. It’s all in keeping with Prehistoria’s stated aim to reduce barriers and make the museum accessible for all.

"We want people to come in and get a hands-on experience of the natural world," said Lovatt.

insidetoronto.com

The sight of a dead whale wouldn’t elicit much more than feelings of queasiness. For Ben Lovatt, the carcass was an opportunity to add another piece to his vast collection of animal parts.

Lovatt is the co-operator of Prehistoria, a natural history museum located in Mount Dennis , right next to his other concern, the SkullStore, which sells exotic animal skulls along with fossils and ancient minerals amassed from his travels across the world.

On one such jaunt to Cape Breton, Lovatt came across the beached pilot whale and arranged to have the approximately one tonne corpse stripped of all flesh, its bones stored in tupperware containers for the trip back to Toronto.

The 16-foot skeleton will eventually become the latest showpiece for Prehistoria, he said.

"We’re going to hang it in the main window, so it’s the first thing people see when they come to visit the museum," said Lovatt this week.

Prehistoria, which opened two years ago, is undergoing a re-structuring in time for a soft relaunch in the fall, and Lovatt admits the 1,100 square foot space is "in shambles" while he and staff work to reconfigure the 10,000 piece collection.

The bones currently on display include the gigantic skull of a woolly rhinoceros, which last roamed the glacial plains of Eurasia 10,000 years ago.

There’s also the vertebra of a prehistoric camel uncovered in Alaska - the beasts were prevalent in northern climes millions of years ago before migrating south-and a taxidermy of an eagle which soared the

Power upgrades coming to west end companies said in a news release.

As part of the next phase of construction, Hydro One will be making upgrades to the transmission towers and wires located in the Kipling and Islington TTC parking lots.

In order to conduct the work safely, some parking spaces will be closed temporarily, beginning in midSeptember for about four to six weeks.

Toronto Hydro is investing roughly $60 million to improve Hydro One’s electricity infrastructure in the city’s west end.

The work on "Power West Toronto" began in June and will go through to December 2018.

The project includes upgrades to Hydro One’s existing Runnymede Transformer Station and 10 kilometres of nearby transmission power lines, the

"Crews will be working at the TTC stations from dawn until dusk," said Natalie Poole-Moffatt, vice president of customer and corporate affairs at Hydro One in the release. "A typical project of this nature could take several months; however, Hydro One will be using every available crew to complete the project as safely and quickly as possible within four to six weeks."

Brock Doors & Windows announces winners of the 2017 $25,000 home makeover On July 13, 2017 Brock Doors & Windows presented a cheque for $25,000 to the winners of their annual home makeover contest: Dawna and Gary Malmquist of Georgetown, ON. Of thousands of entries, No. 178 was drawn through a random number generator.

After speaking with the couple, Kevin Howatt of Brock Doors and Windows learned that the Malmquists are previous customers of the company, having turned to Brock for their previous home renovations.

Dawna explained that during their first

project she noticed an envelope of money on the floor that must have belonged to the Brock sales representative. She called to return it immediately.

Now, three years later, karma returned the favour to this honest, deserving duo.

Brock Doors & Windows holds the draw annually and the Malmquists are the third couple to take home the prize.

well.

She said she’s in awe to see the amount of work Orr does.

"I’m blown away by the unity of the community and how much she’s willing to put in and how many hours she’s willing to put it for a non-profit organization run by herself," she said. "If there’s somebody who is closer by who just wants to help out, they should really reach out."

Looking forward, Orr hopes she can secure a space so she can increase YWY’s operations and bring back her youth program.

"I believe having a music program and mentoring program will assist greatly in eliminating some of the issues that’s going on," she said.

Anyone who is interested in assisting YWY can email ywy4cministries.info@gmail.com.

Plus, on select sets of hearing aids get

THE

program, Perfect Hearts, which is made up of a Christmas drive, a backto-school supply drive and weekly grocery deliveries.

According to Orr, it has been a priority for YWY since 2014.

"We saw that was a great need and we started to focus on that," she added.

When it was established in 2009, Orr, a Humber College graduate, ran a mentorship program for youth called Happy Hands where they learned how to play steel pan drums, which she said helped placed them on a successful path.

"Violence is one of the issues (in the area), including drugs," she said.

"We find that with a lot of the youth, there isn’t much guidance there for them, especially if they come out of government programs and they’ve reached that particular age, there isn’t any healthy transition that will help them in life to give them that support to enter the world."

However, that program

has been put on hold since 2013 until YWY can find a permanent home and fundraise to buy its own drums.

"Because we had the steel pan program going on and we saw how effective it was, even the parents used to come to us and say they’ve noticed a change in their children and even the youth who are grown adults now, they’ve noticed a change from the steel pan program," she said. "I really believe that having music as therapy is a healthy way of allowing the youth to express themselves and let out any kind of emotions in a healthy manner and give them that positive outlet."

Scarborough resident Danielle Bennett, 32, has been volunteering with Orr since August, bringing along her nine-yearold son Mason to help as

EDITORIAL | OPINION

• OUR VIEW •

ABOUT US

New blood-alcohol rules just make sense The news that the federal government might lower the legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers might seem to have come out of nowhere. After all, thanks to concerted efforts by lawmakers and police, the rate of impaired driving incidents in Canada dropped to a 30-year low in 2015.

Yet despite this progress, there is no better time than now to consider tougher drunk driving laws in this country. In less than a year, a new kind of impaired driver could be menacing Canada’s roads - one who just legally smoked marijuana.

It is vital that if the federal Liberals permit the recreational use of cannabis starting next summer, they get tougher with drivers caught under the influence of drugs. As they do that, a stricter law on how much people can drink before driving is also very much in order.

The federal government is justifiably concerned that when recreational marijuana is legal, more people may drive under the influence of the drug. And some of those irresponsible people might even drive after mixing marijuana and alcohol.

That potentially lethal combination is reason enough for Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to consider lowering the legal blood limits for drivers from the current 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood to 50 milligrams. Rules that helped limit drinking and driving in the past might be too lax if booze and pot are mixed.

Yet her proposal has other merits. While decades of anti-drunk-driving campaigns have produced positive results, we still have a long way to go. A recent study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked Canada first out of 19 wealthy countries for the percentage of traffic deaths linked to alcohol impairment. Canada’s current rules were established in 1969 and based on research that concluded the risk of being in a car crash was twice as likely if a driver has 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in his or her system. It turns out that’s wrong.

New research shows the risk of being in a collision is almost triple at the 80-milligrams level and rises exponentially when alcohol levels are even higher. Many European countries, as well as Australia, have wisely lowered the limit to 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

Canadians are headed down a new and unfamiliar highway with legalized marijuana. We can make the journey safer with stronger laws prohibiting every kind of impaired driving.

Toronto’s immigrants are cheated at work Winli Apparel Manufacturing shut down in Scarborough, and its sewing-machine operators, making little more than minimum wage, got four weeks’ pay.

Chinese-speaking immigrants, some worked for Winli for more than 20 years.

Thirteen got legal help to get the rest of what they were owed.

Winli was ordered to pay them $26,000, and didn’t. The province dragged the company to court and, on Aug. 21, fined it $49,000, none of which the workers will see.

That’s normal.

Avvy Go, director of Metro Toronto Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic, represented the workers, and says many won’t approach the Ministry of Labour if they think they can keep their job.

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto When they hear "We’re shutting down," or "You’re fired," it’s often too late to collect, she said.

How much some Greater Toronto employers cheat workers was spelled out in the clinic’s report last year, Sweet and Sour, covering 184 restaurant workers’ experiences over the previous three years.

If you’re a non-Englishspeaking newcomer, Go

says, chances are you’re more willing to accept less than you’re entitled to when employers say, "That’s just the way it is."

The report’s findings: 43 per cent of the restaurant workers earned less than minimum wage, 57 per cent didn’t get vacation pay, and 20 per cent were owed wages.

Faced with yawning gaps in provincial enforcement, the Chinese Canadian National Council Toronto and other groups are encouraging volunteers to talk to Chinese-speaking workers about their rights.

In the early 1990s, Ontario had a Wage Protection Fund which, if it hadn’t been erased, could have paid the Winli employees.

The catalyst for the fund was another clinic case,

Lark Manufacturing, which shut its factory on Carlaw Avenue in 1988, owing 148 people, nearly all of them Chinese, more than $500,000.

Its owners opened another factory nearby.

Bringing the wage fund back, Go argues, would lead to fewer injustices like Winli.

Meanwhile, owners of the Regal restaurant chain around Toronto are finally going to court in November, after being ordered by the ministry to pay former employees $475,000.

Go, whose clinic represents 60 of them, doubts they’ll get a dime. They may get satisfaction.

A man of time HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com

W

atch repairman Shane Ede is hunched over a 1960s IWC Schaffhausen wrist watch in his apartment on Triller Avenue in Parkdale, his eyes mere millimetres away from the most intricate portions of the watch, placing small pieces back where they belong. He’s trying to fix its stem, the component which allows the owner to wind the watch to the correct time. This is what he does seven days a week.

The 69-year-old hunkers down in front of his desk in his bedroom for hours at a time engrossed in repairing everything from pocket watches to mantle clocks and everything in between.

He’s Shane the watch whisperer and has been for the past 41 years.

From antique Rolexes, to Omegas to Swiss Military watches, if it’s broken, chances are Shane is the man to can fix it. Up until four years ago, he got the majority of his business from dealers, but that all changed when a customer wrote a glowing Yelp review. Since then the referrals just kept rolling in.

"It just took off. Kaboom! Thousands of people found me on the internet," Shane said. "People have sent (watches) and travelled here for me to fix watches from India and Venezuela who said they’d found me online. It’s bizarre. "The irony of this isn’t lost on Shane. He calls his business a "dying hobby" that is as traditional as a shoe cobbler. And yet he’s found a way, albeit accidentally, to thrive in the modern, digital age with the help of watch forums and reviews found on the internet for those who know where to look. "Isn’t it wild?" he says laughing. He started out fixing watches as a side gig while he taught English composition for business students at Ryerson University in ’76.

He was an apprentice to an older watch repairman in the city after he took in a clock for repair for his mother. Six months later he opened his own home business and never looked back. "All of sudden 10 years has gone by then 20 years and all of a sudden I really know what I’m doing now, all of a sudden my fingers are like a ballet. You can almost watch them do their job and that takes over," Shane explains. "I don’t know how to describe it. It’s something that’s just too much fun."

Shane Ede is breathing new life into an old trade, thanks to the internet
